Mr. Bond,
I went through the inverter problem last year with camping world. Like everything else it gets complicated. I don't recall exactly but the problem is if you want to put in a single inverter which will light up all of the coaches 110 outlets with 110, you have to put in an inverter that is able to deal with the 30/50 amp issue. It involves the coach using one side of the 50 amp connection for the 30 amps feed, or something like that. I'm sure another poster can clarify this. I was putting in a solar panel and two extra batteries as we dry camp at the beach, and with the inverter I was up to $5,000 which seemed a lot at the time. I ended up putting in the solar panel, 2 batteries, and two 400 watt portable inverters in (Camping World had to add two 12 volt sockets) one for the back TV and one for the Satellite box. I gave up on the idea of using the microwave without the generator. Unfortunately in San Diego we don't have many dealers who do these installs.
